Not a Barn Owl

Hi all

Spent a couple of hours this evening in a hide at my barn owl site, determined to get a close-up shot of one on the same perch as my previous post. They weren't playing though. This shortie, however, was. Don't you just love it when a plan goes wrong!

That'll do for me.
Nice one.
Tiny nit - pity about the dark eye on the left.
No big deal- its as it was.

Hi Simon,

Cracking shot. Can't be to dissapointed when one of these turns up instead of a Barny Really good perch as well.

No SEO reported as staying in Suffolk at the moment, wish they would hurry up!!

Good work

Some lovely evening light on this one Simon and what a great turn out instead of Mr Barn Owl. Perhaps the little squeaky toy trick would have given that slight head turn.
Nice one.

Aren't they gorgeous! Nice light, nice pose, nice perch. I only have fence posts.

Squeaky toy trick? No - surely not. Does it work?

As above, light, perch and Bird all fantastic

Cheers

Beautiful! Great light and perch. For me, I feel it's a little tight on the right, but not sure as he's looking to the left!!

Great shot!

Superb shot Simon, very envious, I've only ever seen one before and that was at Spurn point, I nearly stepped on it !!!

Superb image, the lighting makes it for me . Excellent.

that's a lovely shot, the lighting is gorgeous. It's remarkable that you've had barn owls and SEOs on the same perch. Talk about spoilt
